More about the JPAS Children’s Chorus and Youth Chorale:
The Jefferson Performing Arts Society Children's Chorus and Youth Chorale have been cultivating young voices in song for over 20 years. The JPAS children’s choirs welcome singers who want to develop their singing skills, explore different genres of music, and have fun performing for others. Each year the choirs perform throughout Jefferson and Orleans and often tour to regional and national festivals. Programs include seasonal music, art music of the masters, contemporary hits, Broadway show tunes, traditional choral works, and folk classics. The choral repertoire performed is selected to teach, challenge, and motivate the students. Choir Director Mary Lou Fuenzalida is a Kodály-certified teacher and has been directing award-winning choirs for over twenty years.
